Bath Plugs
The bath plugs, who weekly have been
talking with my
aloof and snappy parents about
presenting me in front of
a TV (oh how the anguish of
paranoid will kill me!) audience to
show, mock, my
sickness, are inductees of
the governing body of
the City of
Sydney.

The greatest democracy to ever exist,
The democracy that fought to survive,
Is bigger than any country on Earth,
It’s governed by a healthy sex drive,
Where each generation reproduces itself,
Electing somebody who’s fitter,
Replacing the old, with one in a million,
Where one sperm is elected the winner.
And the old governing body falls by the side,
Making room for the healthy new hearts,
In every species, all over the world,
From humans to peacocks to sharks,
The greatest democracy to ever exist,
To be perfect after every election,
Is nature itself, in an evolving democracy,
The democracy of Natural Selection.

I often wondered why man-made laws fail.
They are canny compromised concoctions
Agreed to by gregarious, greedy
Souls with agendas. Agents for the rich.
These representatives repeatedly
Parrot party politics to pave the
Way to enactment. Actors on a stage
Playing roles with planned scripts from you know whom.
Feigning their motions with faintest vigor.
Only to con their constituency.
As long as there are have and have-nots
The have-nots will always want, the haves keep.
The rich control the governing body
Middle-class mental midgets elect them.
